Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 17 → 36). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 48th of 87 of the 87 centre-backs in the Major League Soccer. At 29 Blackmon is in his prime years, and a market index of 5.3 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Blackmon missed 7 games through injury and 1 suspension (knee, international duty) out of roughly 39 this season. The 26 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
A career still climbing — Blackmon is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
Output in context · Vancouver Whitecaps finished 2nd of 15 · a title-challenging side
2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 9 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 15) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 81.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 31, Blackmon carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Major League Soccer of 87. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.53 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
